My sweet, sweet cousin Craig LOVED gyros! While he was sick with cancer, at the age of 22, I had Wednesdays off from work and I would take him a gyro sandwich from our local mall. He loved gyros (pronounced YEE-rows) and clothes shopping. Bless his precious heart, so this gyro recipe and blog post are in his honor! 💞
Gyros are warm, juicy sandwiches with amazing Greek flavors wrapped in a pita or flatbread. Uh, Oh, let’s put the breaks on right there. A gyro is keto, except for that pesky bread detail! But this recipe from Bobby's Kozy Kitchen has an answer, and so do I on what to do about the bread and still stay keto.
I first made the tzatziki sauce and let it chill in the fridge. Then, I chopped the tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and dill. I saved the dill for garnish and let that chill also. Then, I mixed the meat mixture. I did add one pound of pork sausage. I added the meat mixture to two loaf pans instead of making meatballs. I’m sure the meatballs would be great, though! I baked this at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until done.
When I took it out of the oven I let the two loaves rest a few minutes before slicing. This turned out super yummy!
Bobbi gives a link to her flatbread recipe, which looks delicious and I will try to make one of these days. Actually, I probably won’t! Ha! I am all about trying to make things as easy as possible any more. I had been experimenting with this great wheat-free, gluten-free, certified keto bread mix by Fox Hill Kitchens. I had leftover batter and decided to make a pita with it. It turned out very good and was perfect as a pita replacement with only about 4 carbs!
Put the tortillas in a dry skillet and cook for about a minute on each side. This changes the texture and makes them more sturdy
Then assemble: gyro meat first, then tzatziki sauce, then chopped tomato and red onion, then feta, and finally, dill!
My sweet cousin, Craig, I wish you were here to have this gyro sandwich with me! 💕
To make the Fox Hill Kitchens tortillas/flatbreads, here is the link on virtaworks. I think they also could be a great substitute for naan bread. Brush with some warm garlic butter!
